Short- and long-term adaptation to ethanol stress and its cross-protective consequences in Lactobacillus plantarum [PDF]
This paper describes the molecular responses of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 toward ethanol exposure. Global transcriptome profiling using DNA microarrays demonstrated adaptation of the microorganism to the presence of 8% ethanol over short (10-min and ...

Multiple classes and isoforms of the RNA polymerase recycling motor protein HelD
Stalled transcription complexes must be removed to prevent harmful collisions with DNA replication and actively transcribing complexes. This work investigates the phylogeny of recently identified HelD proteins that play an important role in removing stalled complexes. Transcription recycling factor HelD is widely distributed across the eubacteria as is

Functional analysis of four bile salt hydrolase and penicillin acylase family members in Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 [PDF]
Bile salts play an important role in the digestion of lipids in vertebrates and are synthesized and conjugated to either glycine or taurine in the liver.

The alpha-amylase gene (amyA) of Lactobacillus plantarum A6 was isolated from the genome by polymerase chain reaction with degenerated oligonucleotides, synthesized according to the tryptic peptide amino acid sequences of the purified enzyme. Nucleic acid sequence analysis revealed one open reading frame of 2739 bp encoding a 913 amino acid protein ...

The Lactobacillus plantarum ftsH gene is a novel member of the CtsR stress response regulon [PDF]
FtsH proteins have dual chaperone-protease activities and are involved in protein quality control under stress conditions. Although the functional role of FtsH proteins has been clearly established, the regulatory mechanisms controlling ftsH expression ...

Population Heterogeneity of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 Microcolonies in Response to and Recovery from Acid Stress [PDF]
Within an isogenic microbial population in a homogenous environment, individual bacteria can still exhibit differences in phenotype. Phenotypic heterogeneity can facilitate the survival of subpopulations under stress.

Characterization of Rhamnosidases from Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus. [PDF]
Contains fulltext : 80035.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access)Lactobacilli are known to use plant materials as a food source. Many such materials are rich in rhamnose-containing polyphenols, and thus it can be anticipated that ...

Two homologous Agr-like quorum-sensing systems cooperatively control adherence, cell morphology, and cell viability properties in Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 [PDF]
A two-component regulatory system of Lactobacillus plantarum, encoded by genes designated lamK and lamR (hpk10 and rrp10), was studied. The lamK and lamR genes encode proteins which are highly homologous to the quorum-sensing histidine kinase LamC and ...
